My Journey Continued

It seems like forever since I’ve been on my blog, letting my thoughts flow and reflecting on my life and my goals. Time has zoomed past me and now I’ve looked over my life and it feels totally unfinished.

Update: From my last post, my life has changed drastically. I’ve moved, gone back to work, left my past job, began working 3, sometimes 4 job concurrently, almost completed my degree and been accepted at my next level in college. I’ve gained back the weight I worked so hard to lose throughout my 227 days in my journey.

I’ve been thrown off track. A lot has happened but it’s no longer acceptable. I’ve decided to take back control. That means some major changes had to be made. So!

I signed up with a year’s membership at Bally’s. Don’t misunderstand me. I had great results with Curves, but this year Bally made me an offer I couldn’t refuse and I’m praying that I won’t regret it.

Day 226-227

God is Great!! I went to the doctor yesterday and heard the words I’ve been waiting to hear for a whole year. “Good work,” she said. “I’m proud of you. Keep up the good work.” I don’t know why those words were so important to me but they were. I love my doctor. She truly loves what she does and has a heart for people. Her compassion is in her voice, her eyes and her touch. Everything about her says “I want to heal.” When I arrived for my appointment, I clutched my co-pay and my list of current meds and questions that also outlined what I’ve been doing this year. Ready to confront the scales, I happily stepped on them and watched the expression on the MA’s face as she wrote my weight on the chart. It was a wonderful day and I love the way my progress was evident in my health. It is finally come home that what I’m doing is saving my life. It’s not about losing weight and looking good. It’s all about living. Don says it in the Love to Exercise. Breathe deep and say LIVE! That’s what I’m doing, hallelujah!!

5:45 found me searching for my workout clothes and shoes (my electric blue set energizes me, lol). At 6:07, I am walking into the chapel for intercessory prayer and 7:00 finds me on the first station at Curves. This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it!

Day 220-225

I was able to finally convince my good friend to join Curves. This happened because another good friend is very sick from complications of diabetes. All of us are relatively the same age, race and weight. The job for each of us is to push each other to LIVE!
